This is basically what all my outfit posts are going to be from now until after the picobee is there – a jersey maternity dress, black tights and the clarks shoes. Just as well I have a few maternity dresses still to show! Anyway, I wore this on our holiday decompression day after Lison. We came back late on the Tuesday, and had to take a half day anyway to pick Bertie up from the cattery, so decided to just take the whole day and get ourselves organised while Milo was at nursery. And go for a posh lunch at Timberyard! Yum! It was a bit strange (but nice) to go for a spendy meal on a random weekday!

These are the rest of the pictures from the day we went to Belem, a seaside town/quarter about five kilometers outside Lisbon’s centre. It was the most touristy part we went to (there was really very few tourists in the centre, or they were mixed in enough with the locals to not be noticeable) and it was the day we did the most things/sights: the explorers monument, the Tower of Belem, the modern art museum, the cathedral, the botanical gardens (where Milo was very taken with the ‘kitchen’/chicken) and of course the famous Pastels de Belem – the shop that supposedly(?) invented the custard tarts is there. It’s massive, and they sell them as fast as they bake them, which means that they’re warm when you get them. Yum!

This is as close as I’ve got to an outfit post from Lisbon. This was our second day when we went to Belem, which I will post photos from soon, but first these of Milo and I posing with some red cows. I’m wearing my So Zo Dolores tunic, which is holding up excellently as a maternity top, and the jersey maternity skirt which I’d weirdly forgotten about when it fell off the hanger in the wardrobe. But then I remembered when planning for the warmer weather in Portugal. Not that it was that hot really, about twenty degrees, hence the tights. Which as far as I’m concerned is a pretty ideal temperature (and probably as warm as it will get in Scotland at the height of summer!).

What I wore on the first day of our holiday in Lisbon. The photos were taken in the sun room of our airbnb. It’s firts time I’ve worn this top in this pregnancy, I bought it in Brussels from C&A, which doesn’t even exist in the UK any more last time round. It’s very summery with the pattern and the light cotton fabric and having almost no sleeves, so I haven’t felt it appropriate to wear until now. Not totally sure what I was worried about, it’s fine with a cardie on top. I should have taken these pics without the cardie though, as that what I ended up wearing most of the day – it was nice and warm! Could have done without tights too really. Ah well!
